I think the Beatles classic rockumentary Let It Be is great & highly underrated for some reason even though some fans don't like it because it shows the breakup of the band but I think LIB showcases the Fab 4 at their finest creating, arguing, jamming & rocking on the rooftop near the end which proves they were a solid rock & roll band at the time despite personal & professional disagreements between John & Paul who could have toured back in 69 with the possibility of playing Woodstock.

I heard it was going to be this year - but they keep putting it back. Apple seem to like releasing stuff on anniversaries nowadays - on May 20th it will be 34 years since the film first premiered in 1970; but I reckon they've missed that deadline already!

I saw LIB for the first time about 10 years ago on bootleg video which KNOCKED me out showing the Beatles creating, arguing, jamming & rocking on the rooftop near the end just being a helluva rock & roll band which proves they could have toured back in 69 with the possibility of playing Woodstock but I think some of my fellow fans hate it because it shows the breakup instead of watching it with an open mind, which is pathetic!!!

I don't hate it. However, I DO find it depressing, and not because it shows The Beatles breaking up, but because for most of the film they very clearly are not enjoying themselves. After a while their bad mood rubs off on you! Despite this, the film is fascinating!
